NIGP 65994: Wyes (Y)

NIGP 65994 Wyes (Y) is an Item code under which state and local governments purchase pipe fittings—specifically Y-shaped tees and branch connections in various diameters and materials—used primarily in sanitary sewer infrastructure rehabilitation and mainline extension projects. The work being solicited involves removal and replacement of service connection wyes, pipe-burst replacements, and new sewer mainline construction where branch laterals connect to primary mains. Issuing bodies include county sanitation districts and county public works departments managing water and wastewater infrastructure.

Recent activity centers on California and Florida.
